it is the energy of his rendition i think he truly believes in what hes performing this is really rare most artists want to just sell music that sells. Nick isnt like that he believes he has a responsibility in his music that makes his creations so muchgreater than the artists out there
My favourite Bad Seeds line-up in many ways: Warren as part of the ensemble rather than overwhelming the music, Blixa creating an extra edge to the sound; Mick, Marty, Conway and Tomas in perfect lock-step while Jim adds a layer on top. This was the group totally in synch and creating a brilliant backing. The Abbatoir Blues Tour version of the band with Jim Johnston was also an excellent version - similar to this but the shift from Blixa's guitar to Jim's organ work was an inspired change.
I thought I’d take a walk today It’s a mistake I sometimes make My children lay asleep in bed My wife lay wide-awake I kissed her softly on the brow I tried not to make a sound But with stony eyes she looked at me And gently squeezed my hand Call it a premonition, call it a crazy vision Call it intuition, something learned from mother But when she looked up at me , I could clearly see The Sword of Damocles hanging directly above her Oh lord Oh my lord Oh lord How have I offended thee?
Jesus, I just found this version of a song I already absolutely adored.... While quoting it in a discussion about the fallacy of consciousness and the fleeting beauty of this existence.
He wouldn't accept an award the Australian music industry wanted to give him a few years ago because it did not recognise The Bad Seeds. At the time he said he would be nothing without them so he refused it.
for me the best live artist ever... and i dont know one bad song from him and that over such a long time he is in that business... only black sabbath is on the same level for me...
The Bad Seeds destroy me and put me right back together. BEST !!!! I fall again and again in LOVE with Nick when ich see this version of "Oh my Lord".......AMAZING one of my Favorite....My english is really bad,damned...
Warren Ellis...I love Nick Cave but his genius lies in surrounding himself with awesome people. no doubt he is THE MAN but he knows he's got one helluva band!
Masterpiece! I used this song to get me through my 1st born sons death 2012! ❤❤❤ He was along with the rest of the family a dedicated Nick Cave fan. We attended a concert together before he died! 😍
@andboy I used to think alike - it's about man who's slowly losing his mind. Now I find there a lot of autobiographic regards. I think Cave tells about the dark sides of being public person - freaks disturbing his private space, stalkers (when he calls to his wife: hey baby it's only me), the vicissitudes of fame (ladder your climbing up/down), papparazzi (telescopic camera) and all that showbiz shit.
De l'immense Nick Cave: du rock délicieux qui monte crescendo,crescendo pour finir en apothéose! Tout ce qui caractérise le plus grand des songwriter rock de tout (tous) les temps! En toute objectivité il va de soi. rock
When I saw them in Stockholm in 2013, you could tell they weren't having the best night. There were some sound issues towards the end, and Nick appeared quite pissed off. So, I guess by Bad Seeds measures, that was a below average concert. My point being, it was still absolutely fantastic. Bad Seeds on a bad night are better and more intense than most bands on their best nights.
WE NEED A CONCERT LIKE THIS IN SOUTH AMERICA, A MEAN JUST COME ROCK MUSICIANS , ART MUSIC LIKE THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSIBLE TO HEAR, PLEASE WE WANT NICK CAVE IN LI MA PERU
for me the best live artist ever... and i dont know one bad song from him and that over such a long time he is in that business... only black sabbath is on the same level for me...
